Recall Realities: Why Your Dog Doesn’t Come Back (and How to Fix It)
Description
In this episode, Kim and Carla dive into the real reasons dogs ignore recall and what owners can do about it. From common mistakes like only calling your dog to put them back on lead, to inconsistent rewarding, frustrated tones of voice, and training that stops after puppyhood — they cover it all.
They explain how adolescence impacts recall, why impulse control lags behind risk-taking, and how owners often (accidentally) weaken recall over time. With practical techniques like whistle training, “treat parties,” the “middle” position, and rewarding voluntary check-ins, you’ll learn how to make coming back to you the best part of your dog’s day.
Whether you’ve got a puppy, a stubborn teenager, or an adult dog that sometimes plays deaf, this episode will give you realistic, science-based tips to transform recall into a reliable, lifelong behaviour.
